    I'm the author of Textinator [1] a similar utility for macOS that uses Apple's Vision framework [2] for doing the OCR natively. Modern versions of macOS have a similar ability to copy text from images directly but Textinator works on macOS back to 10.15 and simplifies the "take screenshot, copy text to clipboard" workflow.

    Textinator which I wrote and is free & open source. Detects text in screenshots and copies the text to the clipboard. Sort of like Live Text in Monterey/Ventura but works on older Macs (Catalina+) and runs automatically in the background.

    On Python Bytes podcast #284 I heard about Text Sniper, a Mac app that allows you easily extract text from images and documents using screenshots (performs text recognition). It's a pretty slick app and I thought, "I can do that in Python" so I built Textinator, a Python clone of Text Sniper that does basically the same thing. MacOS only as it uses the Apple Vision framework to perform the text detection. Screencast demo here.
